OBJECTIVE
To explore the self precipitation source of Erhuang powder, determine the content of related components and its efficacy on HeLa cells.
METHODS
Bifurcation study to identify the main compatibility of precipitating. The self precipitation, supernatant and extract of Erhuang powder were analyzed by UHPLC-Q-Exactive MS. The main compounds in Coptidis Rhizoma and Catechu, catechin, epicatechin, epicberberine, coptisine, berberine and palmatine were selected as controls. A analysis method of UHPLC for self precipitation, supernatant and extract of Erhuang powder was established and the related components were quantitatively determined. The effects of self precipitation, supernatant and extract on HeLa cells were evaluated by MTT method and flow cytometry.
RESULTS
A slight flocculation precipitate appeared when the decoction of Erhuang powder was mixed in pairs, while a large amount of flocculation appeared when the decoction of Coptidis Rhizoma and Catechu water was mixed. The self precipitation, supernatant and extract samples contained 39 compounds, which were mainly alkaloids and phenolic acids. The contents of catechin and berberine in the 6 index components were mostly, which accounted for 73.56% of the total content of the index components in self precipitation and 61.89% of the total content of the index components in extract. Inhibition effect on HeLa cells: extract ≈ self precipitation > supernatant, and inducing apoptosis: self precipitate ≈ extract, supernatant had no apoptosis-inducing effect.
CONCLUSION
Coptidis Rhizoma-Catechu is the main compatible formula for precipitation formation. The self precipitation and extracts of Erhuang powder are mainly alkaloids and phenolic acids, among which berberine and catechin are high in content and can be used as representative components. The effect of self-precipitation and extract on HeLa cells was better than that of supernatant. This basically indicates that the self precipitation components and pharmacological effects of Erhuang powder are similar to those of the extract.

Objective To systematically analyze and identify key risk factors for postoperative pulmonary hemorrhage u-sing a combination of the random forest(RF)model and traditional logistic regression analysis,so as to provide data support for clinical practice.Methods This study included patients who underwent needle biopsy of lung masses from January 2020 to December 2023 in the Department of Interventional Therapy,Cancer Hospital,Tianjin Medical University.There were 844 cases,including 387 males and 457 females,ranging in age from 39 to 82 years.Clinical data and puncture-related characteristics were collected,including tumor size,puncture depth,puncture angle,presence of emphysema,lesion loca-tion in the lung,body position during puncture,whether the puncture passed through the interlobar fissure,and the number of punctures.The RF model was used to rank the importance of all variables,identifying those with the highest predictive value.Subsequently,a multivariate logistic regression model was applied to the top-ranked important variables to further e-valuate their independent impact on postoperative pulmonary hemorrhage.Results The RF model results showed that tumor size and puncture depth had the highest importance in predicting the risk of postoperative pulmonary hemorrhage.Multivari-ate logistic regression analysis further confirmed that smaller tumor size(HR:0.980,95%CI:0.971-0.989,P<0.05)was significantly associated with a lower risk of hemorrhage,while greater puncture depth(HR:1.146,95%CI:1.063-1.235,P<0.05)was closely related to a higher risk of hemorrhage.Additionally,other factors such as puncture angle,age,lesion location in the lung and presence of emphysema showed some influence but did not reach statistical significance in the multi-variate analysis.Conclusion This study successfully identified tumor size and puncture depth as independent risk factors for postoperative pulmonary hemorrhage by combining the RF model with multivariate logistic regression analysis.The appli-cation of the RF model improved the accuracy of feature selection,allowing us to focus on the most contributory predictive variables.These findings provide important support for preoperative risk assessment,suggesting that clinicians should priori-tize these key factors in preoperative evaluations to develop safer and more effective surgical plans,thereby reducing the risk of postoperative hemorrhage and other complications.

Objective:To analyze the endoscopic and pathological features of laterally spreading tumors (LST) and to explore the risk factors for carcinogenesis and submucosal invasion.Methods:From January 2019 to August 2021, the gender, age, endoscopic and pathological characteristics of patients with colorectal LST who underwent endoscopic treatment in the First Hospital of China Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. Univariate analysis was used to determine the risk factors for carcinogenesis and submucosal invasion, and the factors with significant differences were included in multivariate logistic regression analysis.Results:A total of 422 patients were enrolled, including 224 males and 198 females, with the mean age of 63.45±9.23 years. A total of 456 LST lesions were detected. The length of endoscopic resection specimens was 3.01 ± 0.48 cm and the length of lesions was 2.37±1.59 cm. One hundred and fifteen (25.2%) lesions were located in the rectum, 40 (8.8%) in the sigmoid colon, 26 (5.7%) in the descending colon, 109 (23.9%) in the transverse colon, 112 (24.6%) in the ascending colon, 54 (11.8%) in the caecum. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), endoscopic mucosal resection(EMR), EMR with pre-cutting, and ESD with snare were performed in 237 (52.0%), 95 (20.8%), 113 (24.8%) and 11 (2.4%) lesions. Hemorrhage occurred in 4 lesions and perforations occurred in 5. Pathological results showed 119 cases (26.1%) of low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia, 221 cases (48.5%) of high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia, 82 cases (18.0%) of intramucosal carcinoma, and 34 cases (7.5%) of submucosal invasive carcinoma. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the size of the lesion more than 2 cm, the location of the lesion in the rectum, the endoscopic classification of LST-NG pseudodepressed type (LST-NG-PD), LST-G homogenous type (LST-G-H) and LST-G nodular mixed type (LST-G-M), and the presence of large nodules were independent risk factors for carcinogenesis. Endoscopic classification of LST-NG-PD and LST-G-M and the presence of large nodules were independent risk factors for submucosal infiltration.Conclusion:There are significant differences in the endoscopic and pathological features of the four subtypes of LST. The size and the location of the lesion, the endoscopic classification and the presence of large nodules are independent risk factors for carcinogenesis. Endoscopic classification and the presence of large nodules are independent risk factors for submucosal infiltration. Endoscopic treatment of LST is safe and effective with less complications. Different endoscopic treatment methods have their own advantages.

Ovarian cancer is a malignant tumor of female reproductive system with high morbidity and mortality. Currently, ovarian cancer patients are mainly treated by primary debulking surgery combined with taxotere/cyclophosphamide (TC) chemotherapy, with the five-year survival rate of 36%-46%. Chinese medicinal materials play a positive role in preventing the occurrence and development of ovarian cancer via multiple targets. The flavonoid monomers in representative Chinese herbal medicines, such as Epimedii Folium, Scutellariae Radix, Curcumae Longae Rhizoma, Ginkgo Folium, Bupleuri Radix, and Longicerae Japonicae Flos, have been proved to have significant anti-tumor activity and been widely used in the treatment of malignant tumors. We reviewed the relevant literature and summarized that flavonoid monomers can regulate multiple signaling pathways to inhibit cell proliferation, block tumor cell cycle, induce apoptosis and autophagy, reduce the ability of cell invasion and migration, inhibit tumor angiogenesis, and reverse platinum resistance, thereby inhibiting the occurrence and development of ovarian cancer. Such pathways include phosphatidylinositol 3- kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway, Janus kinase (JAK)/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) signaling pathway, mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway, secreted glycoprotein (Wnt)/β-catenin signaling pathway, Notch signaling pathway, and nuclear factor kappaB (NF-κB) signaling pathway. By reviewing the regulatory effect of flavonoid monomers on the signaling pathways of ovarian cancer, we aim to provide a theoretical basis for the research on the roles of flavonoid monomers in inhibiting the occurrence and development of ovarian cancer.

Objective:To explore the application effect of standardized patient combined with situational simulation teaching in the course of Intensive and Critical Diseases Care among higher vocational college students.Methods:A total of 66 nursing students in direction of intensive care from Batch 2015 and 60 ones from Batch 2016 were selected as the control group and the experiment group respectively. The control group adopted traditional teaching method, while the experiment group adopted the model of standardized patient combined with situational simulation teaching on the basis of traditional teaching methods. Before teaching, we designed the standard cases of the course, set up and trained the standardized patient team members. Then the standardized patient combined with situational simulation teaching was applied to the experimental teaching of the course. At the end of the course, the comparison of the theoretical examination score and the operational examination score of the two groups of students was made, and the self-designed questionnaire survey for the experimental group was used to evaluate the teaching effect.Results:The theoretical examination score [(82.80±4.17) points] and the operational examination score [(85.90±1.85) points] of students in the experiment group were higher than those of students in the control group [(80.74±3.15) points vs. (83.82±1.91) points], with significant differences ( P<0.01). The results of self-designed questionnaire survey showed that more than 90.0% of the students from the experiment group thought that this teaching mode could improve their interest in learning and subjective initiative; more than 76.7% thought that this teaching mode could improve their own abilities such as observation of disease changes, communication, teamwork and clinical thinking; more than 93.3% recognized the application of this teaching mode. Conclusion:The application of standardized patient combined with situational simulation teaching could improve the theoretical knowledge and operational skills of the students, and could also train the students' comprehensive quality such as clinical thinking, emergency handling ability, communication ability and so on, so as to improve the teaching effect.
